Launching weapons on flying vehicles

#1 Here's general outline of how that would work:

1) Have the weapon fire a projectile.
2) In the onFire() function you would want to unmount the weapon image

#2 Assuming you already have your image Datablock, lets look at the onAdd function and create the missiles/bombs there for starters.

Here we mount a single weapon.
%obj in this case will be the flyer.
%obj.mountImage(NameOfWeap, Slot); //0-8 on the slots

Now in the onFire of the Image we need to find out the vehicle we are flying. %obj here will normaly be the player/vehicle ( The object it is attached to ).

In order to remove the Image after we fire, call %obj.unMountImage(slot); // slot being the slot number of the image you mounted in onAdd.

You can add the image back the same way as the onAdd function if you wanted to add a reload/refuel option.

Hope this helps..

#3 The other trick is to "hide" your weapon inside the flying vehicule.
Like that the weapon is still there, if needed.

Hope it helps
